boston public garden

One of Boston's true treasures - in any season
This particular day was cold and blustery,
 and way too sunny - which is normally my preference - but not so great for photos at mid-day
yeah - oh well...


Another lunch break - I hopped on the subway to catch a Boston favorite


make way for ducklings - all dressed for Christmas :-)


this is one of the most popular attractions in the Boston Public Garden
- and one of my favorite childhood stories, written by Robert McCloskey
(although I may be biased as the story takes place in Boston)


A friend said to me - it must be so fun to work in the city during the holidays
Yes, it is!

I'm thankful for my lunchtime photo adventures
- Exploring a city with a LOT of holiday cheer
- Christmas with my family
- Vacation next week!
- My warm home during these cold days

The ducklings and I wish you a very merry Christmas!

I'm joining Tom for Tuesday's Treasures
Michelle for Thankful Thursday
Tanya for Willy Nilly Friday Five

Thanks for dropping in!
